This book is essential for I.T. personnel and should be considered mandatory reading for all client / server developers and even networking engineers...

I enjoyed this book because it breaks new ground in terms of Book of Mormon scholarship. Most scholarly works pertaining to the Book of Mormon fall into two categories (1)those which support its historicity as an ancient document, versus (2)those which relegate it to religious fiction. This work focuses on the meaning of Book of Mormon passages by intrepeting the rhetorical forms and narratives found within the book. Skeptics who read this book may find themselves intrigued by the sophisticated narrative styles of the Book of Mormon as elucidated by Mr. Thomas. Believers, on the other hand, may find the resemblence of many of the narratives to King James Version counterparts unsettling. For those seeking a confirmation of their belief of disbelief, look elsewhere. This work shows that the Book of Mormon itself, whether historical or not, is a "good read". The Book of Mormon, like its originator, Joseph Smith, is difficult to "pigeon-hole" and those who read this book will understand why.

This is the only guide you need to learn the new AOL4.0. It is superlative in ease of use and the huge font of knowledge contained within its' pages. You'll be amazed how many features are in the new AOL. A virtual map to the superhighway known as America Online, you'll discover all the backroads with this excellent roadmap.

Can't wait to see this one. Lilla and Dworkin is like a collaboration between Ken Vandermark and Wynton Marsalis.

A "venus fly trap" named Audry2 is created by a man in a flower store on skid row. When people notice how the plant is growing, the store gets more buisness. But why is it growing? It is feeding off the blood of humans and other things. Can Audry2 be destroyed before he hurts thousands? Or will there be more of them? Read the book and find out...

This book provides an excellent (if not definitive) look at Maoist Insurgency since Vietnam, including the insurgencies in Peru (Shining Path), Sri Lanka (LTTE), and others. It is likely of the most value to scholars and academics, however any serious student of insurgency and guerrilla warfare would benefit from it.

The MGH board review is a must for those needing to pass the ABA written exam. Sample questions are divided into separate topics that clearly help the candidate focus on expanding his or her knowledge base. There is a full length sample test at the end of the book that accurately simulates the testing situation.

New•Land•Marks: Public Art, Community, and the Meaning of Place, edited by Penny Balkin Bach, is the book version of an exhibition of models and proposals for an ambitions public art project in Philadelphia, undertaken by the Fairmount Park Art Association. In a way, the show and book are virtual public art: the photographs, texts, and models are a vision of what could happen, not only in this project but in the larger area of community-based public art. Sixteen artists provide visions of the city, communities within it, and the interaction of art, the public, and public space. The book itself is beautifully designed: with innovative site photographs and innovative presentation of the texts and models proposed for each site. This book breaks new ground in the field of public art.

I have used this book through my entire med school years and is still a good reference source beyond med school. Contains very concise and detailed information from all the territories of the medicine. I would definitely recommend this to any professional and future professional in the medical field.

This book is a rare commodity in the area of Real-Time systems. While there are several books on programming in general and object oriented methods in specific for real-time and embedded developers, few approach the subject from timing prodictability point of view.

In several ways, this book has first appeared way ahead of its time. When the processing capacity itself was not available, several embedded developers were more concerned about optimizing their applications for that elusive 'speed' than being worried about building fully predictable systems using proven design methodologies geared towards guaranteeing timing predictability, which inheretly introduce certain inefficiencies in common perception. Therefore, these techniques were deemed to be applicable to only those exotic world of 'hard-real time' systems such as defense, nuclear and not to mere mortals.

With modern processors becoming more and more powerful and devices being targeted to mass markets (e.g! ., set-top boxes, personal communication devices, home automation etc) the market is ready to demand (and of course, get) timing predictability out of embedded devices. Developers therefore need standard books like this and standard software tools (e.g., TimeWiz) to meet this shifting paradigm.

The methods described in this book can be looked at a precursor to a set of "structured methods" for designing real-time systems, based upon temporal modeling (as opposed to object modelling).
